Judy,
you may want to look what files are modified in the last day to get a
better idea
who is causing /var to run full:
find /var -mtime 1 -ls | sort -n +6 -7 -r

Judy
I am confused here. Take a look at the man page for snmpd.conf.
If you set logging level to zero, then you are essentially turning logg=
ing
off, except for failures and exceptions. So there may not be any new
entries. There certainly would not be anything like the volume you woul=
d
have with level=3D3.
But I am puzzled as to why you did not just start a new log. There is n=
o
need to edit the old one. Just rename it and restart snmpd -- he'll cre=
ate
a new one. You can move, archive, or trash the old snmpd log file as yo=
u
like.
I take it that you know you can stop snmpd on AIX at any time using
stopsrc -s snmpd
and then restart with
startsrc -s snmpd
so this is easy to do.
As snmpd is an OS daemon, AIX's in this case, and not NetView's, I don'=
t
know what he will do if you run out of space in the file system that yo=
u
have told him to log to. It is possible that he will just stop, or get
stuck in a loop trying to write an error message to the log that he can=
not
write to the log. I don't know. That's just speculation. But if you ena=
ble
logging, I'd make sure you note that somewhere and check on your space
periodically.
What message did you get from netmon which led to this? That he could n=
ot
talk to snmpd? There is no "dependency" on the /var file system in NetV=
iew,
but there sure is one for snmpd, and if he isn't working right, then ne=
tmon
and most of NetView won't work well either.

Hi,
I'm not sure if the problems I've seen lately are related to netview or=
aix, but maybe someone has a clue as to what happened. Our system is
running netview 7.1.1 on aix 4.3.3 ML9. One morning last week netmon da=
emon
stopped running with a message to restart it. I looked at the file syst=
ems
and /var and /usr/OV were at 100%. I deleted the log files in /usr/OV/l=
og
and increased the file systems, and restarted netmon. Then the next day=
/var was again at 100%, and netmon daemon stopped again. I increased th=
e
file system a little more which took care of it, but I would like to kn=
ow
why the /var file system filled up. What is the relationship between
Netview and /var? I turned on netmon tracing with netmon M -1, and then=
looked at the trace files. I saw a lot of querying HP Jet Direct cards,=
with public still as the community, but nothing that seemed to be faili=
ng.
I had turned on SNMP logging (level 3) because the event log was fillin=
g up
with authentication errors, so I tired to look at the snmpd.log, which =
gave
me the error too large to fit in file system. So I move the snmpd.log t=
o
/home and change the location is snmpd.conf, also changing the logging =
back
to level 0.
Since this move, there have not been any entries in the snmpd.log. I
stopped and restart the daemon thinking this would make the snmpd.conf =
file
be read again. But it is still not logging any entries. I have not foun=
d
any documentation regarding moving the location of this file along with=
any
special commands to restart logging. The file is full of entries that g=
o
way back, is it possible to use the editor to delete old entries out of=
this file?
Thanks for any tips anyone can share.

Yup,
I put 7.1.2 on a Red Hat 7.1 last week. There was a strange phemomena
and
I don't know whether it's typical (I didn't do the Linux build). The
install seemed to be running fine, drawing dots , when it suddenly said
"Stopped [1]". As it turned out, all that had happened was the install
process had gone into the background - typing "fg" brought the growing
line of dots back. Unfortunately, I didn't realise this first time
around
so I stopped the install inadvertently and had to unpick it and
reinstall.
Other than that, it worked fine.
Cheers,
Jane

Guido,
I also have installed NetView 7.1.1 on SuSE-Linux 8.0 now.
It is running fine but I also saw this problem with rpc.statd.
I cannot say you at the moment why NetView wants to have rcp.statd runn=
ing
(I'm just clearing this with our change team and will let you know ...)=
but normally it is used by (and started with) nfsserver.
So if you start nfsserver:
/etc/init.d/nfsserver start
before starting NetView
there are no problems/error messages.

problems with the installation - all daemons were running after the
installation - but when I started NetView I had problems with rpc.statd=

the netnmrc-script, so I deleted this part in the script and netview ru=

but that can not be the solution.
Is there anybody who can explain my mistake and give me a solution?

This usually has to do with running out of colors. Are you going in from
another Unix
box, or are you using an X emulator? If it is the Unix box, and you are
using the CDE,
try changing the desktop of that box to allow More Colors for Applications.
And if
you have launched the Tivoli Desktop, close it. And if you have launched
Netscape,
close that too.

I just did a new installation of Netview v6 w/ patch 6.02 on aix4.3.3.
The map looks fine from the local terminal attached to the netview server.
However, when I start the gui from a remote telnet session, the map opens

Any ideas what is wrong here?

Hi Community!
i´m upgrading (want to) nv 6.0.2 to 7.1.2 on an nt4 server (production-),
but it does not complete. I did the same yesterday on a similar system
(test-)and it worked fine (should be similar).
I compared the nvinstal.log of both (one from c:\temp) - the log of the
production system ends with the entry: "Creating NetView Registry Keys...
...
new TCL_LIBRARY=D:\usr\ov\bin"
the next entries in the inst..log of the working server are the
regestry-cleaning, update of the hosts file and netview service editing.
Registry:
- i tried to compare both registry nv-entries and they are nearly the same.
The test-server reg. shows one more entry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:CLSID:localserver32:(Default) "D:
\usr\ov\bin\SUMMAR~1.exe"
and the services entries ...Services:NetView...
the rest seams to be the same
hosts:
- are exactly the same on both systems
NetviewService:
- In the services file the "snmpserver" entry is not existing on the
production sys
- (next thing its a bit strange) to start the service you need a to create
a
NT-User: NetView. I done it, started the installation and it hanged again.
A
further look into the nt-user-admin-gui showed that the user was not
existing anymore. I create the user again and i was able to start the
install the
service manually. I thinks thats prove enought that the user is really
existing
in the system and again controlled the nt-user-admin-gui, the user was
still there. Then i started the installation again and again the
installtion
hung
and the user was gone :\... (aftre a reboot the user still exists)
does any know whats happening here and/or a way out
... thnx.... hannes

Subject: Stupid Smartset tricks - a warning
Message-ID: <OFB7D662E4.68772EC2-ON85256BD5.004813FF AT raleigh.ibm DOT com>
This is not worthy of an apar but it is probably worth a warning, so
kids, don't try this at home:
You are trying to create a complex Smartset definition, and during
the test or the OK, it seems to hang, telling you your definition is
really bad. Rather than wait, you stop nvcold and kill the process
for the collection editor and collmap, if it has not already gone down.
Then you restart nvcold, and restart collmap using the Administer...
Start Application... collmap function.
When you finally get the definition right, it makes multiple copies
of the Smartset. Subsequent Smartsets also appear in multiples.
And members of this and other Smartsets appear in multiples.
Opening a new blue Smartset gives that popup dialog saying
that there is no child submap, but then it makes one. The multiples
disappear when you delete the Smartset symbols and they reappear
correctly.
It turns out that it is possible to get multiple instances of collmap
running. If you are not careful to kill collmap before restarting it,
it will add another one. I found 5 running the other day.
This may be new behavior in 7.1.1, maybe related to new
function for netviewd smartset processing. At any rate, if you
are going to use force, be thorough about it.
Cordially,

Hi,
I know that's it is possible to poll from an MLM an equipment which is
outside its Network. ( By the use of rules on the MLM smarstet)
But is it possible for an MLM to discover and poll an equipment outside
its network, furthermore this equipment could not been ping by Netview.
Cordialement.

Maxime,
No, an MLM only discovers the subnet that it exists in. It does not go
out to routers and read ARP and route tables to go beyond the subnet.
But since MLM uses ICMP to do status, this allows polling beyond the local
subnet. The polling function is something that all of us discovered works
fairly well, but was not the original intent for the MLM.
I have not tried, but I wonder if you could setup an snmp proxy instead of
an MLM. The proxy would have network access to both NetView and the
managed resources. Then you would configure NetView to use this snmp
proxy when trying to access the managed resources via snmp. You would
configure netmon to manage those with snmp only (you say icmp fails). You
would then use loadhosts to load those devices into NetView. If
loadhosts will not load them because it cannot ping them, try loading them
with the parm to load unmanaged.
I don't have a system to try all this on, but if you try this and it works,
please let me know, I am curious.
Kind regards,

Subject: questions about backup functionnality
Message-ID: <OFEC816942.486ED317-ONC1256BD6.00336176 AT france.ibm DOT com>
Hi,
I got a few questions about the backup functionnality in NV 7.1
(Administration->backup->backup configuration):
first, let me describe the environment: 2 NV servers, One managing network
nodes, the other system Nodes (servers). From what I understood, the backup
functionnality should allow one NV to backup the other one in case of
failure; and the nodes of the remote NV should be unmanaged on the local
NV.
- I'd like to know how it is possible that I get Node Down trap from nodes
that are unmanaged???
- does anyone ever tried this functionnality?
Thanks for your help!
